- simion314 4y ago>GTK has long been under the GNOME umbrella. Did you know that GTK was a cross platform tookit, even on Windows and Mac OS? Andf you did not had to install GNOME on Windows to use a GTK app, because it was a tooklit for making apps, and GNOME was a project that combine GTK apps, and a window manager to make a DE. Many apps ported to Qt so I don't think there is a chance that GTK will get a viable fork, Qt will be the only cross platform toolkit
- laserdancepony 4y agoNice, the now popular dev worldview "break things, and break things often". Just for the sake of breaking. I love it, why didn't we stumble earlier over this magnificent piece of discovery.
- rascul 4y agoThey don't need to fork it. GTK is only tied to GNOME for maintenance and development. Using GTK in an app doesn't make it a GNOME app.
